Colin Farrell shuts site over sex tape

Colin Farrell has forced an internet site to close down after it attempted to sell copies of a sex tape which shows the actor engaging in explicit acts with playboy model Nicole Narain.

The 'Alexander' star and the glamour model were left fuming after discovering the tape - which is alleged to show the two stars engaged in a variety of sex acts, including several positions from the Kama Sutra - for sale for $14.9 on website dirtycolin.com.

Narain's lawyer, Leodis Matthews, and Farrell's lawyer, Martin Singer, joined forces to get the Federal District Court in Los Angeles to shut down the website, and has warned legal action against anyone who attempts to sell the illicit recording.

Farrell's publicist, Danica Smith, said: "A website attempting to distribute an unauthorized tape of Colin Farrell was shut down. Mr. Farrell will take legal action against anyone who tries to distribute this tape."

Matthews said: "We're extremely upset. This is a black-market release. Nicole is not getting a dime from this. We're outraged - $14.95 is a ridiculous figure."

A Superior Court judge in Los Angeles has issued an order temporarily barring the sale, distribution or display of the tape - which also contains footage of a naked Narain poking out her pierced tongue and winking at the camera, while Colin says: "I could do this for breakfast, lunch and dinner."
